OIL-BURNER.

To `all 'whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM I). HAYNEs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Omaha,'in the county of Douglas and State of Nebraska, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil -Burners, of which the following is a specification.

My inventionrelates to limprovements in oil burners and refers particularly to the type or character of device used in a -stove or range for employing oil as a fuel instead of coal. v u

The main object of my invention is the provision of an oil burner which will be capable of instant application to theusual fire chamber of the stove and which will use oil under pressure as a fuel and which will'be very economical, which will prevent the accumulation of carbon and secure the highestdegree of heat under allconditions.

Another object of my invention is the'provision of an oil burner whichcan be produced at a small price, which will have a long life, and which will be thoroughly efiicient and practical. A

lith these objects in view my invention consists of an oil burner of the type and for the purposes stated embodying novel features of construction and combination of parts substantially as disclosed-herein.

Figure l represents a view partly in elevation and partly in longitudinal section of an oil burner constructed in accordance with and embodying my invention.

Fig. 2 represents a top plan view of the burner, and

Fig. 3 represents a detail view of the perforated division plate, which acts as a means for evenly directing and distributing the fiame jets to the burner.

The burner may be of any shape desired and of the proper size to fit the fire chamber of a stove, and consists of the lower portion A, formed in one end with an opening B, and in its forward lower wall with an opening C, to receive the air supply nozzle or funnel D, said lower portion being also formed with a ledge E, upon which is supported the plate F, provided with openings G, the purpose of which will appear, and upon said lower portion or member A, rests and is secured by means of the lugs I-I and fastening screws J, the upper burner member K, formed with the flame outlets K', and 4further formed With a longitudinal dre- -in which bears `zontal branch, and for Patented Sept. 3, i018..

pression K2, in which is seated the longitudinal oil supply pipe L. i

This pipe L ts into the upper member of the burner and is connected by means of the threaded neck L', with a suitable oil supply under pressure, the pipe extending outwardly beyond the burner proper, and having a cap M,`secured in its extended end, a sleeve M', being fitted in the cap and forming a bearing for the controlling rod N, having upon its upper end a handle N', and upon its lower end a crank N2, said rod being vertically disposed and having the crank thereof connected to the outer exposed end O, of the horizontally disposed needle valve 0'; y

The oil supply pipe is provided near its outer exposedend with a threaded opening P, in which is fitted the upper threaded end Q, of the cross shaped pipe Q', said upper threadedend .extending upward into the supply pipe to receive the gas and prevent sediment or foreign matter from the oil entering said pipe.

As before stated the pipe Q is in the i form of a cross providing the vertical branch Q2, and the communicating horizontal branch Q3, one arm of which is formed with a guiding wall R, and cap R', the outer end of the needle valve 0', the other end being pointed at 02, and being guided in the wall Q4 of the horithe purpose of cleaning said cross-shaped pipe a cap S is pro vided which permits the discharge of any sediment from said pipe.

In the opening B in the lower member of the burner, is fitted what I term the mixing chamber T, having an opening therethrough to receive the inner branch of the horizontal pipe, a valve seat U, for the needle valve being provided and the outer portion of the mixing chamber being covered by a screen V, in contiguous relation to which is arranged the ribbon screen V'.

The valve seat U, is disposed adjacent to the air inlet opening of the burner and also near the horizontal funnel W, whichacts as a flame collector and in connection with the mixing chamber and air inlet causes a complete mixing of the air with the fuel oil to properly distribute the liame in the lower member and to direct it through the division plate to the outlets in the burner in lon jets, thus securing the highest degree of efliclency,

- sion lplate through the openings the mixing chamber is opening YV, which admits an additional amount of flame to highly heat the mixing chamber.

F rom the foregoing description takenin connection with the drawing the operation of my oil burner will be readily understood and it will be apparent' that the oil under pressure and heat forms a gas which passes from the oil supply pipe to the vertical branch of the cross-shaped leed and distributing pipe, through t ie mixing chamber andin the lower chamber is mixed'withair and the thoroughly mixed oil and air produces a liame which is directed by the divithereotl vertically in long jets through all oi the outlets ol the burner, thus obtaining the ull degree of efficiency from the oil, insuring economy in the use of the oil and preventing the accumulation of carbon, the needle valve being easily regulated to control the supply of oil to the lower portion of the burner.

I claim l. An oil burner, consisting of the upper member having the flame outlets, the lower member connected to said Vupper member and having the lower air inlet, the mixing chamber mounted in the outer end of the lower member, the cross shaped distributing pipe having one horizontal branch entering said mixing chamber, the oil supply pipe connected to the upper vertical branch'of said cross shaped distributing pipe, a needle valve mounted in the horizontal branch of said cross shaped pipe, and a hand operated rod connected to said needle valve.

2. An'oil burner, consisting of the upper member having the flame outlets, the lower member connected to said upper member Copies of this also provided with an patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing` the and having the lower air inlet,'tl1e perforated division plate between the upper and lower members, the mixing chambermounted in the outer end of the lower member, the cross shaped distributing pipe having one horizontal branch entering saidk mixing chamber, the oil supply pipe connected to the e upper vertical branch of said cross shaped distributing pipe, a needle Vvalve mounted in the horizontal branch of said cross shaped pipe, and a hand operated rod connected to said needle valve.

3. An oil burner, consisting of the upper member having the flame outlets, the lower member connectedV to said upper jmember and having a lower air inlet, the perforated division plate between the upper and lower members, the mixing chamber mounted in the outer end of the lower member, the flame collector disposed adjacent to the mixing chamber and the air inlet of the lower member, the cross-shaped distributing pipe having one horizontal burner entering said mixing chamber, the oil-supply pipe connected to the upper vertical branch of the said cross-shaped. distributing pipe, the needle valve mounted in and guided by the horizontal branches of said cross-shaped pipe, a valve seat in the inner horizontal branch of said pipe, and a hand-operated `rod depending from the oil supply pipe and connected to the outer end of said needle valve for operating the valve.n

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
